View clinical trials related to Pancreas Cancer.
Filter by:A clinical database has been prospectively maintained by the investigators, with details of pancreatic resections since January 2016. It includes pre-operative details, details of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, details of pre-operative biliary stenting, intra-operative details, post-operative morbidity and mortality, details of histopathological diagnosis, recurrence and survival. Data was collected onto the database (excel sheet) from trust data software, clinic letters, Somerset Cancer registry and clinical portal.
In our multicenter retrospective study, preoperative CA 19.9 levels predicts the presence of lymph node metastasis at final histology in patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma .
Unlike other types of gastrointestinal tumors, there is controversial evidence of the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with borderline and resectable adenocarcinoma (ADK) of the pancreas, the objective of this study is to perform a "snapshot" of the usual practice in our setting in terms of neoadjuvant therapy in ADK, both in terms of the different regimens used as well as the results in terms of morbidity, mortality and survival. Likewise, in a second phase, a prospective registry of patients included in the neoadjuvant regimen for both resectable and borderline ADK diagnosed in Catalonia will be launched, which will provide us with valuable information to try to answer open questions in the context of borderline and resectable ADK treatment.
The aim of this study was to assess the risk and complications after preoperative drainage of biliary obstruction in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy. A retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from January 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2021. Patients who had preoperative bile duct drainage were compared to patients without intervention. Type of interventions, complications and outcome after surgery were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis.
The purpose of this study is to examine the benefits of a clinical implementation of a DPYD-genotype test to patients starting treatment with fluoropyrimidines (Fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine, tegafur).
The primary aim of REuBio study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of repeated endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy after a previous non-diagnostic or inconclusive EUS-guided sampling of solid pancreatic lesions.
This is a feasibility study in which patients with pancreatic cancer are treated with intratumoral holmium microsphere injections.
The purpose of this prospective, interventional, single-arm pilot study is to evaluate whether virtually delivered group-based physical activity is feasible for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll 20 participants in total and will last approximately 3 months.
Bile duct cancer and pancreatic cancer are cancers that cannot be surgically removed. As the cancer grows, it blocks the drainage of the bile ducts that carry digestive juices from the gallbladder and pancreas to the small intestine. ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is often prescribed during which a tube with a tiny camera attached is inserted through the subject's mouth and advanced to a place in the small intestine where the bile duct empties. Through this scope the doctor enlarges the ducts with tiny balloons and places plastic or metal stents (straws) that help keep the bile ducts open so they can drain properly. However, due to the cancer, the stents are blocked eventually. The purpose of this registry is to record information and evaluate the impact of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) probes in improving the management of bile duct cancer or pancreatic cancer by ablating the tissue in the bile duct(s) before the stent(s) are implanted. By using radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the tissue in the duct(s) prior to stent(s) insertion, the surrounding tissue becomes coagulated and this may delay tumor growth and the time before the stent lumen becomes blocked. Thereby, allowing increased periods between the need for intervention and further stent implantation(s). The registry will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RFA procedures conducted for pancreatico-biliary disorders
This prospective randomized controlled study is aimed to determine the advantages of thoracic epidural analgesia for open upper abdominal surgery in combination with multimodal analgesia compared with no thoracic epidural analgesia on postoperative pain control. The primary outcome is total opioid consumption in postoperative 72 hours. Secondary outcomes are the success of continuous epidural analgesia or complications of this technique, pain intensity, morbidity and mortality compare to no continuous epidural analgesia.
